no to shabby at all
ps. I recall that the old DSM Reds actually used the 60-1 compressor wheel so while the Aero of the blades etc migh not be in the same league as the newer GT and Bilet wheels - I think your setup will still surprise a few people.

ps. found this info on the Agency Power EVO VIII in an old post by vivid:
Enjoy...
.
Agency Power has finished testing on their all new Turbo Kit for the 2003 and up Mitsubishi EVO VIII, RS, and MR Edition vehicles. The AP turbo kit is designed to offer the consumer several different options for their vehicle needs. The kit is available with a T3/T4 50Trim Turbo for the daily drivers and road racers. As well, the kit is available with a 60-1 Turbo for the customer wanting to do big horsepower numbers in either drag racing or road racing scenarios.
Once the final production unit was finished, we took a stock EVO VIII and added some common parts to get our results. Without going over board to gain high numbers, we put together the car with some of the basic upgrades most people do. Products - B&B downpipe, B&B catpipe, JIC 505 catback Exhaust, Turbo XS UTEC, Perrin MBC, HKS 264 Intake and Exhaust camshafts, ARP Head Stud Bolts, Blitz 700cc Injectors, Agency Power Fuel Rail, and Walbro Fuel Pump.
With the new turbo kit installed, we took the EVO VIII to the local All Wheel Drive Dyno Jet facility. Dynoing the stock car at 220 wheel horsepower, we had a good baseline to tune upwards from. Since most vehicles run everyday on 91-octane pump gas, we tuned it with this gas first for a real life number. The 91-octane map at 1.5 bar (23lbs) of boost put down 330 wheel horsepower (429 Crank HP). Once drained, we filled the tank with 109 Unleaded VP Gas and turned up the boost with a retune. The EVO VIII now made 405 wheel horsepower (526.5 Crank HP) and 358.6 ft/lbs of wheel torque.
Now this is our smaller turbo option! With C16 leaded gasoline (most companies test with this), our 50 Trim kits will make close to 425 wheel horsepower safely on the EVO VIII stock engine. With our 60-1 Turbo Kit, you will achieve about 475 wheel horsepower (617.5 Crank HP).

Ok, but in 2009, this turbo doesn't do anything that something else doesn't do significantly better. An FP Red delivers the same power potential, but in a much faster spooling package. An HTA82R gives at least as good spool characteristics, but can achieve 700+whp.
While there is nothing 'wrong' with this and dozens of other older turbos, there are much better performing alternatives.

But some times we just end up with these turbos - a bargain, is a bargain, so from a bang for the buck perspective it just makes sense to use them somtimes.
Its like old V8's they never die - just get reborn
We would all love to get te latest and greatest things - some times we do other times we make the most off the parts we have...
but I hear ya!

I understand and completely agree. My post is just intended for the uninformed segment that will be told by some unwitting shop that this turbo and some others are the hottest thing since sliced bread, and happen across this discussion following a search.
No doubt there are plenty of options that can be had in slighly used condition for peanuts as compared to the latest fashion trends.
